Secular evolution of continents and the Earth system
Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

Dynamical evolution of the early solar system
D Nesvorný - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Several properties of the Solar System, including the wide radial spacing of the giant
planets, can be explained if planets radially migrated by exchanging orbital energy and …

Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration-How the radial pebble flux determines a terrestrial-planet or super-Earth growth mode
M Lambrechts, A Morbidelli, SA Jacobson… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Super-Earths–planets with sizes between the Earth and Neptune–are found in tighter orbits
than that of the Earth around more than one third of main sequence stars. It has been …

The growth of planets by pebble accretion in evolving protoplanetary discs
B Bitsch, M Lambrechts, A Johansen - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 - aanda.org
The formation of planets depends on the underlying protoplanetary disc structure, which in
turn influences both the accretion and migration rates of embedded planets. The disc itself …

Early Solar System instability triggered by dispersal of the gaseous disk
Abstract The Solar System's orbital structure is thought to have been sculpted by an episode
of dynamical instability among the giant planets,,–. However, the instability trigger and timing …

[HTML][HTML] Accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets with implications for the compositions of early-formed Solar System bodies and accretion of water
DC Rubie, SA Jacobson, A Morbidelli, DP O'Brien… - Icarus, 2015 - Elsevier
In order to test accretion simulations as well as planetary differentiation scenarios, we have
integrated a multistage core–mantle differentiation model with N-body accretion simulations …

The timeline of the lunar bombardment: Revisited
A Morbidelli, D Nesvorny, V Laurenz, S Marchi… - Icarus, 2018 - Elsevier
The timeline of the lunar bombardment in the first Gy of Solar System history remains
unclear. Basin-forming impacts (eg Imbrium, Orientale), occurred 3.9–3.7 Gy ago, ie 600 …

A long-lived magma ocean on a young Moon
A giant impact onto Earth led to the formation of the Moon, resulted in a lunar magma ocean
(LMO), and initiated the last event of core segregation on Earth. However, the timing and …

Earth's continental lithosphere through time
CJ Hawkesworth, PA Cawood… - Annual review of …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
The record of the continental lithosphere is patchy and incomplete; no known rock is older
than 4.02 Ga, and less than 5% of the rocks preserved are older than 3 Ga. In addition, there …

Origin and evolution of the atmospheres of early Venus, Earth and Mars
We review the origin and evolution of the atmospheres of Earth, Venus and Mars from the
time when their accreting bodies were released from the protoplanetary disk a few million …
